[feat] Improve windows NSIS updater #1301

@thewh1teagle

Description

@thewh1teagle

Describe the problem

Currently, when updating a Tauri app with the Tauri updater on Windows using the NSIS package, it closes the app, opens a PowerShell terminal for a few seconds, then displays the NSIS installer progress. This process appears suspicious or strange to simple users.

Describe the solution you'd like

Hide the powershell window and the nsis progress window with nicer user experience

Alternatives considered

Maybe hide it completely until it finish everything?
The best scenario will be like in macOS. once the user chose to restart the app it immediately install the update in background and in 1-2 seconds open the app

Additional context

Tauri v2
